Overall, I would say we had a pretty good stay. I had a few issues with getting responses when I submitted questions via VRBO and then the Evolve team who I assume helps manage the property. The day before, I finally had a text response and communication was fine after that. The property is a older and nothing fancy, but it met our needs for the stay. Driveway is a bit steep, but doable. Four-wheel drive may be a good option in poor weather. The location was good given the places we planned to go. Easy access to Pisgah and Blue Ridge parkway. The fall colors were really starting to pop so we had a very enjoyable time. The location of the property is very quiet and surrounded by trees. We sat out and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The only downside for us was a few of the things put on us to do. The idea of sorting trash, emptying, washing out and drying cans/bottles was more work than we wanted to do. We ended up just taking the trash on our own. A few other things like stripping the beds, starting a load of wash, cleaning all the dishes and putting them away(no dishwasher) were also things we would have preferred not to do. We prefer to relax and not do too much work while on vacation.

Cottage was musty smelling upon entering. We kept window air units off which helped. Would list this as rustic cottage. Needs updated. No satellite tv but had Netflix etc. Did have some issues but owner was very quick to fix. Beautiful serene setting.

Our stay at this Robinwood cottage was unforgettable. We enjoyed every moment. The host was very accommodating and helpful.
Unfortunately, we experienced some difficulties during our drive through the mountain. And we had to reach out to our host around 12am, however she was very helpful and understanding at that time of the day.
The cottage was neat and suited our taste. The style, furniture and design was really appealing. It was all a sum of our experience.
The trip was a short family getaway to catch up on some family time. The environment was just great for that purpose. We had enough time to get out and drive around town, even visited the movie theater.
We would recommend this place to any family thinking about getaway for some family time and a mountain experience. There are several waterfalls in the area as well.
The property was surrounded by woods with a great sized porch on the second floor. Very cozy inside...
